Hot Wheels HW Flames '49 Merc (Candy Red)

Bring the classic swagger of vintage American lead-sled hot rod culture straight to your display shelf with the Hot Wheels '49 Merc (HW Flames #219/250)! For decades, Mattel’s iconic Hot Wheels lineup has celebrated custom automotive history, capturing the defining cruisers of the classic custom era. Recreating one of the most celebrated hot rod body styles in history, this 1:64 scale model pays tribute to the legendary 1949 Mercury.

Coated in a deep candy-apple metallic red finish with classic yellow-and-white flame graphics running along the sides and hood, this model highlights the '49 Merc’s signature chopped roof, raked profile, low-slung stance, and chrome-accented bumpers. Factory-sealed on its original HW Flames series card packaging (#1/10), this piece is an absolute must-have for classic Ford/Mercury fans, hot rod collectors, and die-cast hobbyists alike.

• 1:64 Scale Die-Cast Quality: Built with official Mattel die-cast metal construction for smooth rolling on track or pristine carded display.

Why Shop With The Brickery Canada?

As dedicated independent Canadian die-cast hobbyists, we know that card condition and blister integrity are everything to a true collector. Giant department chains routinely toss specialty die-cast into chaotic pegs and bins, resulting in bent card backings, crushed corners, and cracked plastic bubbles. At The Brickery Canada, we treat every collectible with genuine enthusiast care. Your Hot Wheels '49 Merc is hand-inspected, kept completely out of reach from general store handling, and shipped flat inside a rigid box with protective cushioning so it arrives at your door pristine and ready for your display.

Life is tough, and we're making it our business to make it a little lighter. Don't forget to sign in to your Brickery account to earn loyalty points on this purchase to use toward your next favorite find — because Everybody Needs a Hobby!
